So, I ate ~2.5g of dried cubensis, had a great time. As the effects dwindle 4-5 hours later, I smoke a bit of cannabis and relax. About 10 minutes after I smoked I begin to feel a strange head rush coming on. Colors start to rapidly change, I get lightheaded and a bit dizzy. Sounds become distorted and I start hearing voices, nonsense. Then, silence. My vision is gone, I'm literally deaf, and I'm screaming out loud "HELLO HELLO, WHO'S THERE". Again, shroom effects were gone and the onset of this strange occurrence was ~10 seconds. It then lasted ~2 minutes with no vision and hearing, I was NOT in my body. Then poof, I was back to normal left extremely frightened. Anyone know what the hell happened to me? :(
 
Sounds like you had a wicked trip for a small dose of shrooms to me :D
 
sounds to me like a blackout/whiteout/passout. how was your diet/hydration during the trip? remember that weed doesn't just make your mouth dry-- it really does dehydrate your whole body.

have you ever fainted before? passing out from low blood pressure or blood sugar is one hell of a trip, and not a very good one because you could seriously hurt yourself if it happens while standing.
 
I kind of had this on my first mushroom trip, I think it may have been fainting due to low blood pressure or something as someone suggested, I think I was pretty tired that day too. Right after I smoked i started feeling very light headed and dizzy. I walked inside to lie down and just as i was getting to the couch my vision went and ears were ringing. I think I kind of fell onto the couch and semi passed out very briefly. Lay down for a little bit and was then fine but it freaked me out a bit.

Thinking back the head spins from the tobacco in the joint may have contributed too, me not smoking cigs much.
 
yea I agree with low blood press. and dehydration sparked whiteout, had a similar thing happen to me on mush

I was actually standing when this happened. I've never passed out/fainted before in my life. I was with a friend near a group of other people playing loud music. He was doing some photography with me watching. When the onset began, I screamed to him HELP ME GET BACK TO THE CAR! I was able to walk to my car being "outside" of my body, while still screaming hello hello, who are you etc. I saw flashes of people all around me (it was just him and I as we were nearing my car) and I thought they were dead people...

As far as hydration goes, I was drinking water the whole night and munching on almonds here and there.

True. Wizards invented almonds to KILL YOU WHEN YOU TAKE MUSHROOMS. The combination makes your BRAIN BLEED and stuff.

Also almonds are made of meth.

^Science.

Or maybe some of the psilocybin hadn't been absorbed/released completely yet? Alternatively, I've noticed that mushrooms can come in waves, and you may have still been mildly under the influence when you got a head rush, or some similar phenomenon and that stimulus combined with the waning trip caused the more-than-standard reaction?

Who knows? I'm pretty sure it was the methalmonds.

hahahahaha^
id be inclined to agree..

or it could have just been the combo of weed and shrooms. weed pretty much potentiates everything in my experience, so i wouldnt be surprised if it brought the trip back.

also i know my friend always gets head rushes on weed, and his vision goes out or his ears do. and then hes passed out one time too.
another friend gets head rushes on shrooms- same thing.

if it wasnt the methalmonds =D it was probably the weed+shrooms.

wait....WHY ARE ALMONDS STILL LEGAL?!?!?!?

luls aside, I guess what I had isn't all that uncommon, just something I hadn't experienced before or heard of. Thanks guys. Also, glad to be a part of this forum now.
 
welcome to the club :)

headrushes certainly are scary, especially if you don't know what to expect.

next time that light-headed feeling comes, sit down and take some slow, deep breaths. makes the visuals increase while you stay conscious :)
